Enterprise-level software training & materials

By default, OpenOffice.org automatically learns the common words you type and then tries to complete them. Although it's a great tool for increasing your composition speed, some users would rather turn the feature off. But, turning off the overall Auto Format feature turns off more than AutoCompletion. To turn off only OpenOffice.org AutoCompletion, follow the steps below:

1. In the OpenOffice.org Word Processor, select Tools -> AutoCorrect/AutoFormat.
2. Click the Word Completion tab.

   

3. Uncheck the Enable word completion box to turn off word completion, or change any of the other settings available, such as the keystroke used to accept word completion suggestions.
4. Click OK.

Once you've discovered this dialog, you can explore the different tabs to change your AutoCorrect and Auto Format preferences. To go back to the default settings, click the Reset button.
